We are in Michigan amd I have two close friends who recently went though this and both of them were in similar financial situations and both have children. I plan to call one of them tomorrow and she if she can help any.
I'd really like to get out of this house (it's an old farmhouse we've been remodeling since 1996) but it's worth way more, even in the condition it's in, than we paid for it. My credit was the main reason we were able to get the mortgage for it when it was being forclosed upon. My husband's dad wasn't making the payments and was going to lose the house and a business located on the property. My husband alway worked seasonally and I made the most money before I quit work to stay home with our little guy. I am absolutely stupid when it come to many of these legal kinds of things, but I'm sure I'm going to learn a lot!
Thanks again!

> You might have to buy him out (if there is equity) if you want to stay in the house. Depends on where you are located. Are you in the U.S.? Some states have no-fault divorce and some really put you through the ringer about grounds for divorce if the other person doesn't want the divorce.
